Despre puncte forte cu Ioana Veghes si Renate Nenciu, Gallup Romania

Brian cruises the singletrack in Red Rock Park near Gallup, New Mexico.

I play once a week at the local java joint. It was a 3-handed game that day, so we each got 15 cards (+ a 3 card slough for the winning bidder). If you know pinochle, you know this is an incredible hand: a run + Aces, Queens, and Jacks around + a pinochle + the 9 of trump. All 15 cards went toward meld, so I didn't even need the slough. Earlier that day, I'd also been dealt a double pinochle (30 pts.).

My father-in-law refuses to believe this luck, but I have witnesses. (If you don't know pinochle, the object of the game is to get to 100 pts via meld and then playing the hands.)

"El Rancho Hotel, Gallup, New Mexico, is a historic hotel built by R.E. “Griff” Griffith,[2] the brother of film director D.W. Griffith. The pair encouraged early film production in the surrounding area.[2] It is located on old U.S. Route 66 and became the temporary home for many Hollywood movie stars.The rambling, three-story hotel building has a large portico with a central balcony reminiscent of the Southern Plantation style. The National Park Service describes it as having a “rusticated fantasy appearance.” Materials include brick, random ashlar stone, and roughewn wood with a wood shake roof and brick and stone chimneys. The lobby features a spectacular walk-in fireplace made of brick and random ashlar stone surrounded by twin stairways made of split logs that lead to the second floor guest rooms.[2] The slogan “Charm of Yesterday, Convenience of Tomorrow” is rendered in neon above the main entrance.[3]

 

It is on the Trails of the Ancients Byway, one of the designated New Mexico Scenic Byways.[4]

 

History

It opened in 1937 as a base for movie productions. Employees were trained by the Fred Harvey Company.[5]

 

With the opening of Interstate 40, the property fell into decline. Armand Ortega bought the hotel at a bankruptcy auction[6] and restored the property.
